Dammit, I hate when a single chapter gets sandwiched between two
breaks, but we have a Japanese holiday next week as all of Weekly
Shonen Jump will take that week off.

So, we start off with an alright fight between 3 Supernovas and
right off the bat, Luffy has his dumbass moments. First,
Luffy lying about Kaido badly when Zoro told him he shouldn't have
answered Hawkins' question about who runs Wano and second, Luffy
not knowing how to use a sword despite Zoro wanting to use it since
it's a high ranking sword. It's funny that Zoro can be
foolish when he chooses to pay attention to a sword instead of the
enemies. Even with this cursed sword, Luffy, and possibly the other
Straw Hats, have a 19% chance to leave Wano after a month.
Please …

Wil D. Magnus: Also known as Wild Magnus, he is the captain of the
Wild Pirates, a group of pirates who are known for their wild and
unpredictable nature. Later he is given the name ‘Dread Wolf.’. In
truth they are a kindly group who would rather help people than rob
them preferring to only steal or hurt those who are in a position
of power and abuse their lessors. Wil in particular is a strong
believer in using his strength for good and is a intelligent
individual.

His physical appeance as follows. He has white hair that is long
and spiked back reaching the bottom of the back of his neck. He
also has two miniature dreadlocks near the front of his neck. He
has big green-blue eyes, he has a very angular face and

This chapter, like the last one, managed to be both full of
exposition while incredibly fast-paced, so much so that I'm almost
out of breath. This is exciting!

There were some pretty nice panels in this chapter. Luffy's
simple declaration that Ace is dead, Tama hitting him when they're
riding, the shot of Wano Wasteland...pretty captivating stuff.

The character that's the most interesting to me in all this is
Hitetsu. There's so much about him that seems untapped, like the
history of his clan, the person he's waiting for, how his nose
seems to grow and shrink. I hope we get to see him again soon.

Luffy's reunion with Zoro was pretty charming, and it's great to
see them back in action together. And now we have three Supern…

First of all, shame on Kaido for slacking off on last week's
review, he has the even numbered chapters while I have the odd
numbered chapters. Second, it was kinda hard thinking up of a
9/11 joke with the title especially when I could have used some Jet
Fuel Can't Melt Steel Beams joke, but whatever. Third, let's
see how long we can adapt to the new arc princess, Tama.

We start off with knowing how Sanji and Co. survived the storm
as Luffy inflated himself like a Dobson drawing and had his crew
jump off of him. However, that octopus from the last chapter
grabbed onto Luffy and made him and the Sunny get sucked into the
whirlpool. Fast forward to the present, as Luffy has survived
and lost his Vivre Card from the storm. As Luffy is abo…

Since I'm very bad at making puns or reacting to them, I'm
paging you Kaido and Ghmorello. Yo, where are you guys? I mean it
should be Good Morning America the time I was supposed to
post this almost 2 hours ago. This is your job,
not mine! Anyway, here's my review. My personal thought to this
chapter is pretty much the same way I would react to pun
jokes. Meh.

As mentioned in this undone revision by Rhavkin, this type
of opening happens on most arcs so this is not surprising, further
supporting my claim on why this chapter is meh. Some people at One
Piece Reddit says this is a normal One Piece arc opener,
reminiscent of Skypiea or Fishman Island Arcs. What I think is
that the hype on the previous chapters were a little too much that
this chapte…

This series has been the longest thing i have ever watched and
read and will continue to watch and read, but im just getting a
little tired. They have so many stories needed to be concluded like
luffy reunitimg with shanks and usopp seeing his dad, does luffy
become a warlord, will jimbei join the straw hat pirates, and most
of all will they ever get the one piece. Im sure the answers will
be revealed but i feel like ive been waiting an eternity. Well
nothing i can do but wait.

So, we're finally here in Wano and we get to see some familiar
faces for the first time in two years. So, let's see how this
arc begins.

We start off with the Minks near a random village where
Nekomamushi is meeting up with Marco. It seems that Marco is
starting to take a Rayleigh-like appearance with the glasses as
it's revealed that he was the doctor of the Whitebeard
Pirates. Now serving as a village with doctor with his
phoenix powers, we get a calmer side of him. It's also
revealed that this village is where Whitebeard and Ace are buried
and we also get into Weevil. While Weevil and Bakkin are
looking for some lost Whitebeard treasure, it turns out Bakkin may
have conceived a child with Whitebeard since she was on his ship 40
year…

So some of you might have heard or read about the details
of the Directive on Copyright in the Digital Single Market,
especially those of you guys from Europe or just really
interested with what's going on over there so you're updated
with whatever European news was available. Thanks to the EU website
and the trusty Wikipedia, a directive (for those of you who
don't know) refers to an act that sets a goal that all EU countries

they follow.

Well, the main topic. I'm sure you've heard about Article 13

Was it ever said how the unjustifiably angry people of Dressrosa
learned Rebecca was a member of the Riku Family? I don't think I
looked over that part. I wouldn't be surprised if Donquixote
Doflamingo wanted to be a sadist even after everything that had
happened, but last I checked, her Mom faked her death to avoid a
scandal of marrying a criminal in secret. Can anybody fill that
question for me, please?

I am a huge fan of Urouge, along with Law and Kid. However, lets
focus on Urouge for now, who has gotten the least amount of
exposure. When he was first introduced he had the lowest bounty at
108,000,000 from the other Super Rookies. This could make people
think that he was one of the weakest from the group; however, I
always thought that he would actually be one of the strongest from
the group. He is the oldest from the group, plus he hailed from a
sky island. His bounty could also be this low because of him
possibly having a laid back personality. Thus the marines do not
see him as huge threat. Meaning that his activity in the blue
seas could be fairly recent, thus his bounty might not accurately
reflect his strength. I think this is fur…

First of all, I’m fine with having an arc that focuses on other
people aside from the Straw Hats. Sometimes, it’s good to have a
break from watching the Straw Hats causing trouble to see what else
is going on in the world.

This pirate group that Garp and Hina mentioned sure is
interesting. I guess this means there are still more enemies
(beside the Yonko) for the Straw Hats to fight. The straw hat in
the secret chamber sure was unexpected. How many more mysteries are
we going to be introduced to in the future and what is this
invention of Vegapunk’s that is supposed to make the Shichibukai
system obsolete? Also, you don’t suppose that the fourth Road
Poneglyph is hidden somewhere in the Holy Land.

The imbodiment of the World Government hype I've been building
up in my 5.5 years of reading One Piece. Something unimaginable, an
immense, grim, figure that held it all. It all feels so imminent,
and yet, still immeasurably far. Idk why I'M imparting so much
flowery poetry, I haven't slept im nearly 24 hours, but it was all
worth it to see 'im.

Yeah, Kuma's been impounded and is getting impaled, Bonney
continues fueling speculations and implications galore, the
Revolutionaries are hoping their impudent declaration of war won't
come to an impasse, the Levely is impending, yada yada yada.
Someone else can write a blog about that. Let's go back to Im
before I implode.

OK, actually, I don't know what else to think or imply about Im.
I'm impr…

Well well well, Oda sure does love Game of Thrones so much that
he made a throne inspired by it, but let's get to the
chapter.

We start off with Big Mom talking to Kaido of all people about
who should beat Luffy as well as something that Kaido owes Big Mom
to. Was it likely that Kaido was one of Big Mom's
husbands? Was Kaido the father of Katakuri, Daifuku, and Oven
in a way? There's also a chance of seeing Kizaru in the Wano
Arc since he asked Sakazuki on whether or not he should go, but the
samurai are a force to be reckon with. It's also good to see
Garp being his joyful self again.

We also see Sterry being himself again as he witnesses the Empty
Throne which symbolizes the peace around the world even though we
don't have any peace,…

Seeing Columbus on the front cover gives me flashbacks to 2015
when she was first mentioned - I remember some of us thinking she
was a generic-looking dude. Well holding off until we got
confirmation really paid off this time, and she amuses me quite a
bit.

The interactions between the variety of characters was fun.
Shirahoshi and Rebecca may not have been too beloved in their own
arcs, but their amiableness is easy to get behind here and it's
funny to see characters like Dalton become fellow Luffy fangirls. I

initially thought the Chinjaos wouldn't be coming with him. And

This is intended chiefly as a forum for debate over the
introduction of time-travel/time-powers into One Piece. Apologies
if this discussion has been had before.

In the previous post by Ghmorello summarising chapter 905, A
FANDOM user pitched the idea that Ryokugyu could be a
time-traveller, albeit one who travelled through a machine.

It’s worth considering: being an Admiral, Ryokugyu no doubt has
a devil fruit, and the idea that it is related to an overpowered
ability like time would easily put him on a par with (if not
exceed) Fujitora’s own abilities. Besides which, other aspects of
his character may hint to this being the case as well, i.e. he
hasn’t eaten in 3 years, but if his body clock has been stopped,
why would he need to?

So, we're back at the Reverie as we focus on the Royalties and
get a big reveal even though it was a teaser.

We start off at the World's Biggest McDonald's known as New
Marineford where once again, Akainu is pissed off about Fujitora
and his actions back in Dressrosa. The Reverie Arc will also
focus on the Admirals especially Ryokugyu.

At the base of Mariejois, we're introduced to some new kings and
queens including a Mexican, some Russian Nesting Dolls, and fucking
Abraham Lincoln of all people! More importantly, Princess
Shirahoshi is achieving her dreams of exploring the outside world
from her underwater kingdom. We finally see adult Stelly who is
just as whiny and ugly as usual, but thankfully, Garp is there to
put him in his place.…

As I look forward to the war with the Beasts Pirates, I decided
to make my own prediction.

In the first phase of the war, the alliance battles against Kaido's
subordinate crews. Apoo battles against the alliance, not wanting
Kaido as an enemy. After getting past the enemy crews, the alliance
directly battles the Beasts Pirates. Luffy charges straight at
Kaido. Some of the Beasts Pirates try to stop Luffy only to be
pushed back by Luffy's allies. Two of the Three Disasters confront
Zoro and Sanji. Jinbe joins late in the battle, apologizing for
being late and fights the third Disaster. Some of Luffy's allies
try to help Luffy only to be beaten by Kaido, leaving Luffy to
fight Kaido himself. Kaido taunts Luffy, saying that he being
called th…

It's about time the Revolution Army makes a decisive move
against the World Government. Dragon, Sabo, and the revolutionary
executives only specified on targeting the World Nobles and they
did not say anything about the Gorosei or any of the royals
attending the Reverie. Perhaps, they aim to bring down the World
Nobles before going after the government leaders. I suppose they
need to gain the people's trust and vilify the government before
they focus on dismantling the current world order. By taking down
the World Nobles, the Revolutionary Army could gain support from
countries that suffered at the hands of those tyrants. While I'm
looking forward to see the World Nobles get what's coming to them,
I'm curious on what exactly the Revolution…

Apparently this chapter was really short, which I didn't pick up
on at first because hoo boy is there a lot of new characters and
new abilities here.

I really love the four Revo. executives for their diversity.
We've got a giant okama, a mink, a token girl, and a guy who can
turn into the flock of crows that we saw on Dressrosa. Maybe it's
just me, but they feel reminiscent of the Guardians of the Galaxy.
Morley is Drax, Betty Boop (which I will probably always call her)
is Gamora, Lindbergh is Rocket and Karasu is Groot. All they're
missing is a cocky guy to lead them, which I guess might be
Sabo.

The powers were all pretty great too, and simple, from moving
the ground like clay to turning into crows to strength through
inspiration and also…

in chapter 903 we know sanji got 330 million bounty and
luffy 1.5 billion bounty, but what about other straw hats?

in dressrosa when luffy beat doflaminggo, everyone that go
to zou got raise 50 million (except chopper), so in this
current arc the others (zoro, robin, franky, ussop, law) got raise
how much? is it like last time 50 million?

in dressrosa who play active role like zoro got
200 million raise, franky and robin 50 million, ussop 170
million, so the WCI that play active role go how many raise?

well in dressrosa everybody got raise so no way in WCI got
no raise right?

Pudding has been one of the foci of this arc, not only due to it
being her wedding, but also by how interesting her character is
constructed. Oda has always been great at creating characters that
have unique personalities. Not only is he amazing at telling the
stories of even the most unlikely characters in amazing ways, but
also that he does it at all with certain minor characters like Mr.
Pink. But is Pudding really one of those characters? Is she not
simply a plot device? I'll try to debate this topic a bit while
going through the arc as chronologically as I possibly can, and
relate her to us (the audience), Sanji and herself.

From her initial meeting with the Straw Hats, Pudding was
what felt like an amazing girl for Sanji to marry, es…

Hello recently Vinsmoke Sanji was change back to Just Sanji by a
Majority vote In my option I believe the change was unnecessary
because Sanji Vinsmoke linage was reveal to the world and Sanji
simply stated that he does not want to hear anything Vinsmoke and
Germa before his Vinsmoke linage it was reveal to World and his
bounty poster was set under his real name

I like to hear your option on the change but let tried to civil
about it because I don't want this blog to be delete it

I also created a poll so I can determine how many people agree
that Vinsmoke Sanji should be change to Just Sanji or those who
doesn't agree with the Change then go the Talk and have re discuss
on the talk page

Well, we're in a new story arc for the first time in two
years. The Reverie is underway and we get some reactions from
around the world.

First, we have Sanji trying to distance himself from the
Vinsmokes by rejecting his own Raid Suit that was given to him by
Niji even though Chopper and Luffy object. If that isn't
enough to trigger Sanji, he discovers that his wanted poster now
has "Vinsmoke Sanji" on it along with "Dead or Alive." Oh
yeah, we got some new bounties and now Sanji's bounty is higher
than Zoro's as it's currently at 330 million berries. Another
crucial piece of info for the Straw Hats is that Zeus is with Nami
now instead of Big Mom. Will Zeus remain with the Straw Hats
or does he pull a Vivi and return to Big Mom?

When Jinbe explained about Bege's past, I thought he was
supposed to be a vicious person who is the type to follow the law
of the jungle.

He had an opportunity to kill Big Mom when through some stroke
of luck, he discovered a weakness he could exploit. Unfortunately,
even with Luffy's help, he wasted his chance and the only damage
his assassination attempt had inflicted on Big Mom was her scraped
knees.

Another opportunity had presented itself when Bege had access to
the one thing that Big Mom was after during her craving rampage,
but he let that second chance slip by just because he gave Sanji
his word of not sabotaging the cake. In this case, I’m not sure if
I should be glad that Bege is honorable enough to keep his
word.

Although Whole Cake Island had finally ended there will be no
new chapter this week for One Piece and instead we'll have to wait
an extra week for the next arc's first chapter to come out. The
reason behind this which I confirmed on page 254 on Viz's English
release for the April 23rd volume has to do with the Golden Week
holidays in Japan (because this affects the whole magazine, it can
only be confirmed at the end of the WSJ volume instead of the end
of each chapter which makes it harder to detect this).

Though I am disappointed to have to wait an extra week, at least
for me it makes it easier for me due to a dental-related operation
so I'll be happy when the end of next week rolls around to get the
information from the next chapter.

Sanji: ok I'm leaving the cake in your hands. You better not do
anything to it before Big Mom eats it.

Bege: do not worry. You can leave the cake to me.

Sanji then leaves Bege's ship with Pudding and heads back to the
Thousand Sunny.

Bege: (whispers to himself) Screw you Black Leg. I’ve come so
far and I'm not about to pass up on a chance to kill that lousy old
hag. In the world of pirates, it's the law of the jungle you
fool.

As the Fire Tank Pirates lure Big Mom away from the Sunny, Bege
secretly orders his men to poison the cake and they do so without
Chiffon noticing. They later reach Funwari Island, drop the cake
off, and flee.

Big Mom eats the whole cake, enjoys it, and lies on the ground
in bliss. Not knowing that Big Mom has been poison…

Now that the Whole Cake Island arc has ended, there are many
comments I would like to make.

This sure has been one hell of an ordeal for the Straw Hats. Eat
your heart out Urouge. Luffy defeated two of the Sweet Commanders.
Snack must be the weakest of them since he was beaten by a rookie
that wasn’t Luffy. Honestly, I don’t think any other super rookie
could achieve what Luffy has accomplished unless they possess some
overpowered Devil Fruit or have some incredibly dangerous weapons
at their disposal such as Caesar’s Koro gas weapon. I say that
Luffy should have the No. 2 spot in the Worst Generation.
Unfortunately, Teach is No. 1 until Luffy defeats him. Oda really
had me worried with Chapter 900. I thought it would be the chapter
where t…

lost here

The World, oops - I mean Lucci

Vampire Eggplant of Darkness

Boom! New World!

The fashion designer

Katakuri *smirk*

Ok.

That's about it. This is a half-assed list of all the main story
arcs and who Luffy had to face in them (- marks arcs without a main
antagonist). To skip through with the East Blue Saga, Luffy just
got into fights and Arlon…

Even though it felt clear for a year that the Straw Hats would
have to get out of here by escaping rather than fighting, there
always was the expectation that they might find a way to get
everything out intact. There might be a sacrifice along the way,
like Pedro, but for basically everything who's not a Straw Hat to
be in jeopardy is...wow. I get that there might be some
discontentment due to the Straw Hats having a penchant for willing
their way to success...but honestly, what better way is there to
demonstrate just how fearsome Big Mom is? Her arrival at the very
end of this chapter (and likely arc as a whole) was absolutely
chilling, and should set a very good tone for …

It seems like we're finally done with the Whole Cake Island arc.
While this is a big relief for all of us, it makes me think about
the events that went down on WCI and how the world of One Piece
will react once they see/hear about the damage that Luffy has
caused with only HALF of his crew. More importantly, I want to get
into the discussion of bounty predictions. I feel that it is really
soon that their bounties are going up after being only an arc and a
half away from their Dressrosa bounties but how could they not go
up? Big Mom's tea party was filled with all sorts of underground
crime bosses, the Germa 66, CP-0 agents, and Morgans, the president
of the World Economic Journal. Once this news spread across the
world I'm sure that not on…

So, we're back from the two weeks of waiting to see if the Straw
Hats survived or not, oh, and yay for Gerth I guess. Come on, you
knew they would not be killed off that easily.

First of all, Big Mom is back to her big fat old self again
after enjoying the cake. Second, Smoothie is still doing nothing.
Third, Moscato is alive. MOSCATO IS STILL ALIVE?! Does that mean
Opera survived the soul suck too. In before the Pound and/or Pedro
are still alive train goes full speed again.

Anyways, the Straw Hats survived by being eaten by Wadatsumi who
decided to replace the Thousand Sunny with the Sun Pirates' ship, a
ship that was built by Fisher Tiger himself. However,
should-have-been Sweet Commander, Oven unleashes another attack in
an attemp…

Now this may come as a shock to most of you, but I have some
very sad news. Even though he's coped ok with health problems so
far, Oda has tweeted that he's going to discontinue the manga so
that he can recover for a year or two (although the tweet was since
deleted so there is still hope). Very sad news, I'm sure you'll all
agree, so with that in mind I know there's going to be questions.
Everyone knows that when a mangaka starts delaying their series for
health reasons, it's never a good sign - look at Hxh - so we can
probably expect that even when it comes back it'll be
substandard.

Regarding the plot, it's not a great place to hiatus or end, but
at least there's a story reason for it - Luffy and the others are
dead or captured. Going up…

My review blog for Chapter 873, all the way back in last summer,
was titled "It Isn't Over Until the Fat Lady Eats". And now...it's
over. It's all over.

I don't really know. I actually find it pretty fun when things
get dark like this. Of course, the voice in my ear is telling me
that this is hardly going to be lasting, they'll get out of this
somehow, etc. But until then, I just like to relish it. The
indomitableness of a Yonko crew. No matter how much they bend, they
just won't break. Only when you feel like you've reached the top do
you actually hit that wall. They may get out fine ultimately, but
unless this is all an illusion or something it should have a
considerable effect on how the crew is…

Hey y'all, Before I start on this, I just want to say that this
is my first blog post, so I apologize in advance if it breaks any
rules or policies on this wiki, as I haven't taken the time to read
them yet..., (sowwy) since I usually don't come here other than to
read the blogs y'all make for recent chapters (which I LOVE doing
by the way, keep it up xo).

Also, I'm not a native-english-"speaker", (if that's what you
call it), so I apologize if you experience any difficulty in trying
to understand what I'm saying in this blog, as it is totally not my
intention to give you a hard time with my english.

With that said, let me get to the topic at hand.

I came here to discuss this topic that I'm sure some of you may
find interesting to talk about,…

Well, the good news is that there's no break next week meaning
that Kaido will get to cover the big and important 900th chapter
while I get the sloppy seconds of reviewing chapters 899 and
901. :(

Anyways, this chapter served as a nice setup for what's to come
next week in chapter 900. It feels good to see some
refreshing faces in this chapter especially with Judge and the Sun
Pirates.

We start off with the Big Mom Pirates panicking over Big Mom and
what's to come with the consumption of the Wedding Cake. Perospero
speculates on 3 consequences: 1. Big Mom eats the possible poisoned
cake and dies which would end the Big Mom Pirates Empire. 2. Big
Mom becomes immune to the poison and dislikes the taste thus
continuing her rampage. 3. Big…

Halfway through this chapter, I was pretty worried it was just
gonna be a boring exposition chapter. The Big Mom Pirates catch up
on shit, stuff gets ready to go in motion.

But then stuff got in motion real fast. And it was
captivating.

I don't care for the Vinsmoke boys. I don't really know of
anyone who does. But they almost make up for their lack of
character with some absolutely bitchin' action pieces. It was great
to see Winch Green and Sparking Red in particular, Winch Green was
good enough that I didn't even feel sad when my baby Yuen got
pounded into the dirt.

I will say, though, this chapter didn't satisfy me in one aspect
- Sanji. He does beat some guys up in the beginning, but as things
unfolded all my hopes for him to unleash some…

A new chapter and it's nice seeing one of the former Giants
slaves become a part of Harjudin's crew.

Well, with the Luffy vs. Katakuri arc over, we can finally move
onto the climax as the Battle of Chocotown starts to heat up
especially when Oven is the main henchman in that town. The
1:00 AM rendezvous has arrive and it's finally time to
fight.

We start out with the theory that Pekoms would get his own
Sulong Transformation being correct, and it's pretty obvious that
he would not be able to master Sulong as much as Carrot. The
only way to calm down the Hulk, or the Broly, or the Pekoms, is for
Pedro to be there, but guess what, he isn't. So, we're back
to more Brulee bashing as Pekoms turns into a were-lion only for
Oven to interrupt h…

Pretty chill chapter, which was a good followup to the events of
the previous one but given that it came after a hiatus its lack of
action feels a bit more irksome than it would otherwise.

I prefer final blows that have a lot of impact rather than just
implied aftereffects, but honestly the conclusion to Luffy vs.
Katakuri was pretty solid otherwise. Luffy's declaration was great
and I'm looking forward to seeing him go toe to toe with Big Mom
after Kaido. I'm expecting their reunion to be on Elbaf, and I
doubt that he'll simply defeat Big Mom like he will Kaido, but as
Katakuri's chapter comes to a close I'm excited for bigger things
down the road.

Pudding's got one last request for Sanji before they part ways.
Did he get some action in tha…

Well, we got a new Gear 4th form, but we get a short chapter
with little to no dialogue. Even with a quick chapter, the action
should be fun when animated.

As for Luffy's Snakeman form, it's what I expect it to be -
thin, long, more movement, and most importantly, it's the basis for
Luffy's speed attacks which is what he needs to counter Katakuri's
Observation Haki abilities. While we saw these new moves,
Katakuri decided that he wants to be a doughnut and unleashes his
ultimate move, Spiked Mochi in which his arm turns into a giant
mace. The chapter ends with the two making one last explosive
clash. Who won? Will we see the result next time?
Well guess what, Oda adds insult to injury by making us wait
through another break. The way…

This chapter was pretty much a wiki editor's wet dream and
nightmare at the same time. So many new names for characters to get
pages, some reappearances, abilities n shit, it's all cool. With
the encyclopementries out of the way, let's review and discuss the
chapter as best as I'm able to at 3 in the morning.

Luffy's and Katakuri's fight was a nice continuation from where
it left off before. Luffy's on Katakuri's level now, and the two
can trade blows like there's no tomorrow. And of course, Snakeman.
The one and only form where Luffy concentrates all his power into
his anaconda and stretches it infinitely like a Gomu Gomu no
Culverin, because even though Katakuri said that anything Luffy can
do he can do better, he probably has a baby weew…

Back for another chapter as we completely focus on Luffy vs.
Katakuri this time. I'm quite surprised that the cake eating
will be delayed for another chapter, so maybe, this chapter is
taking place at the same time as the events of the previous
chapter.

We start off the chapter by confirming that Luffy DID get hit by
Katakuri's last attack and that it wasn't a vision from CoO.
Katakuri becomes disappointed with Luffy while Flampe and her men
laugh at the defenseless Luffy. While getting kicked around
like a "newborn fawn" Luffy remembers about Rayleigh teaching Luffy
about using CoO while being unconscious. After Luffy gets up,
we see Flampe's bitchy side as she hopes to impress Katakuri by
firing a dart at Luffy. After Luffy dodges i…

Hey all, I recently read that there was theory that Blackbeard's
"first" Devil Fruit is a legendary zoan cerberus fruit. I've seen
this theory backed up by people pointing out his jolly rodger, and
